Woah! Here are pics from the Knoxville house explosion. This also happens to be my roommate’s parents’ neighbour’s house. Sadly, the son of the two parents died in the explosion…

From the neighbours:
“A house in our neighborhood blew up two nights ago due to a gas leak. It threw the couple onto the back lawn and the house is obliterated. Their son was asleep in the basement and didn’t survive.

No purple. That’s the hallmark of a successful city. You need at least three colours in your city’s logo. Although, having lived in Chicago, I only saw gray skies and white snow. So you can’t blame ‘em for getting excited about blue and orange.

No Hollywood special effects here. This is real 21st century riot control in Pittsburgh.

“By order of the Pittsburgh Chief of Police: I hereby declare this an unlawful assembly.”

The future is dark days.
